Hard Days

You would've never learned the words to "Amazing Grace" Never felt the chill of a pew when you lost faith Well, blood, sweat, and tears wouldn't mean a thing If you didn't strike out a couple hundred times If you never hit rock bottom, never cursed the sky You would've never known to ask the good Lord why Or ever changed your life If you never had hard days If you never had a heartbreak Never had more than you can take Or carried the weight Of life on your shoulders Would you feel like you earned it? Would you live with a purpose? Or ever known your own strength If you never had hard days? You wouldn't know what it's like to dance in the rain Never see the silver lining when the skies go grey You wouldn't know a dream come true from a few that don't You'd never find your way on a broken road If you never had hard days If you never had a heartbreak Never had more than you can take Or carried the weight Of life on your shoulders Would you feel like you earned it? Would you live with a purpose? Or ever known your own strength If you never had If you never had the downs, the scuffs, the scars, the ruts And all you put behind you When the wins, the ups, the rise aboves Right there to remind you If you never had hard days If you never had a heartbreak Never had more than you can take Or carried the weight Of life on your shoulders Would it feel like you earned it? Would you live with a purpose? Or ever known your own strength If you never had If you never had hard days? Yeah, if you never had hard days
